🎙️ About ‘Becoming Meg Dashwood’:
Executive produced by, and starring, Emma Thompson, ‘Becoming Meg Dashwood’ picks up where ‘Sense and Sensibility’ left off. When an invitation from family friend Mrs Jennings hurls her into the chaotic heart of Covent Garden, Margaret Dashwood discovers an intoxicating world beyond afternoon tea and polite society. Here she meets three women who live unapologetically: Nelly, an impulsive actress; Hester, a witch; and Inge, a sex worker. All four women dare to imagine a life dictated by pleasure, politics, and possibility. But such a life demands sacrifice. Especially when Meg's feelings for Nelly - tender, electric, terrifying - begin to deepen.
‘Becoming Meg Dashwood’ features a dynamic new score by Natasha Khan of Bat for Lashes, was written by Rebecca Humphries and directed by Jo Tyabji. It stars Emma Thompson, Erin Doherty, Naomi Ackie, Liz Carr, Jessica Gunning, Paterson Joseph, Golda Rosheuvel, Greg Wise, Imelda Staunton and more.
